In case you somehow haven't already, make sure you check out help_haiti. There's really all kinds of things you can bid on, and it's not just fics or icons. People are offering all kinds of jewelry, all sorts of knitted/crocheted things (hats, gloves, Doctor Who inspired scarves...), bags, really cute skirts, yummy looking food, grab bags/care packages from all across the country and around the world, lots of different types of art both original and fandom-related.

My favorites are looking through the Something Interesting post which seriously has all kinds of different things (even, for example, a Star Trek TOS trivia game) and the Artistry post because some people can make some really cute/amazing items. But seriously, look through the posts, I'm sure you'll be able to find something that you'd be willing to spend money on. And it all obviously goes to a really good cause. In case you're skeptical, if you're bidding and you win an item, you get to donate the money to whichever charity you want.

So go look through whichever interests you, and offer or bid. There are separate posts for: art, graphics, audio, food, fic/stories/books, something interesting, and a lightning round for instant donations for fics and things.

(By the way, I don't mean to downplay the fics or graphics, I just figured those were the offerings floating around your flist the most, and I just wanted to make sure people knew about the others.)

I wrote fic! I wrote Psych fic! Okay, well, not even 200 words that I wrote in about ten minutes and it's not really anything spectacular, or, you know, good but I had this Shawn/Gus scene in my head all day. Probably because I've been reading Shawn/Lassie fic lately and my mind needed to rebel. I am so ashamed to be reading Shawn/Lassiter I can't even tell you.

( Gus is trying to have a moment.Collapse )

Still so excited for Psych on Friday, if you couldn't tell.

Once upon a time there was a king. This king was quite content because he had all of his men surrounding him, fully protecting him. And then suddenly, they all started moving away from him! Even more worryingly, the opposing kingdom that they were currently battling was sending its men towards him. The king did not like this one bit. He said, "Oh no! All my people are leaving me. I'm over here! Your king is over here!" The king called out to his men, but a soldier wearing the colors of the other kingdom took a step closer to him and the king coughed. "King? Who said anything about a king?" He whistled, quite innocently. But the king was a coward, and he thought, "I must do something to protect myself!" So he traded places with a castle. Afterward, he reflected that this was a rather strange thing to do. "Since when do castles move?" he pondered to himself, but he spent little time worrying over it, distracting himself instead with the inefficiencies of the fighting. His foot soldiers were behaving rather oddly. Some had enemy soldiers beside them or in front of them, but were only attacking diagonally!

Out of the corner of his eye, the king noticed his queen move. What was she doing!? Queens were not meant for battle! They were meant for sitting pretty beside the king in ideal situations, he thought, a bit petulantly. The king watched, over the heads of his soldiers, as his queen moved around, battling more effectively than any of his other men. He suddenly wanted the queen once more beside him in order to protect him, but instead she edged closer to the other king. "That's very suspicious behavior!" the king called out to her, but he could hardly be heard from his little corner of the kingdom. Rather abruptly he noticed a soldier getting a bit too close to him. "Knight," he coughed. His soldiers appeared to not hear him, and the enemy knight moved even closer. "KNIGHT!" the king shouted, moving himself out of the knight's path.

It was around this time that he saw his queen take the enemy's queen. "Hooray!" he cheered, even though the enemy queen had been quite pretty. A foot soldier that he had previously paid no regard to moved forward a step. and. turned into the previously defeated queen! "AHHHH!" shrieked the king. He didn't know they could do that! "That. What," said the panicking king, "what." The king registered some movement from a bishop but it didn't concern him, bishops were surely men of peace. But! Suddenly both bishop and the too close for comfort enemy queen were attacking him. Unfortunately, the king was so out of shape that by the time he took a single step, the queen could span the entire length of a kingdom. It made for a rather awkward and, as far as the king was concerned, frightening dance.

The king did not survive the affair. If this should upset the reader, one should note that his enemy king, who was actually a very nice and generous man, endured the battle, and indeed, he and his kingdom lived happily ever after.

Fancy a trip in the TARDIS~?

And then I would say 'yes' and we could go to Camelot! And the Uncharted Territories, and the White House in like a month and, and, and...

YOU GUYS.

MY MOM GOT ME TWO TICKETS TO SEE EDDIE IZZARD AT RADIO CITY ON MY BIRTHDAY. AND SHE GOT ME A HOTEL TO STAY THE NIGHT IN.

DUDE. I've never been in the city without an adult (my sister counts) and I've never actually stayed the night and I'm doing both at once and it'll be amazing zomg.

The friend who is going with me said, "ohh, remind me to get you the most amazing birthday present ever, okay?"

You guys have no idea how exciting this is for me I loved Eddie for forever and I never thought I'd be able to see him live and basically, my mom is amazing, so there.

I need to start working on my homework and stop doing other things.

(For example, making icons:


And I don't even particularly like Emily Browning. It's just because SOMEBODY wants me to play Bella and it just sorta happened.)

I'm so obsessed with Gaspard Ulliel right now. Last night I watched Le Dernier Jour and my photoshop is filled with half made icons of him. (I found this picspam of him the other day. OMG how is he so ;alsdkjf there are no words for him.)

They finally decided to show Across The Universe here which made me happy. I loved it. And I loved the random Eddie in it. :D It took me til the very end of the movie when I actually saw her name on the credits to realize I knew Lucy from the movie Little Secrets. Raaandom.

No really I need to start working on my homework. I'm going to faaaail my world history midterm because I'm not going to write the stupid paper.
